At our recent Seattle MQG guild meeting, we heard about the guild's plans for our QuiltCon 2027 Community Outreach Challenge quilt. We're using the bold palette - Bella Eggplant, Wheat, Shocking Pink, Pond, and Periwinkle, and as you might already know, the design theme is Half-Square Triangles. I was amused - though not disappointed - that our quilt would be inspired by The Gum Wall at our city's historical Pike Place Market. (Click the link if you're not familiar with it. Brace yourself.)
We were each given three pieces of fabric to make HSTs in at least two sizes between 1.5" and 5" unfinished. We had the option to make some skinny HRTs, but I opted to stick with the HSTs.
So I've sent my 22 HSTs + that one little scrap back to our Community Outreach team. Seriously can't wait to see what they come up with!
Ha, well this will be really fun to see come together! Even though I knew what I was getting into, I still clicked through. :)
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great and I look forward to seeing the finished quilt. We saw that gum wall when we visited Seattle. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteYuck is right, yet we still love it - haha. The colors were some specified by the MQG. It'll be interesting to see where it goes from here.
DeleteIt will be fun to see how this quilt goes together. I suspect there will be no "ew" factor with the quilt - haha!
ReplyDeleteI love HST's so amazingly versatile. And the chosen palette is fun.
